News and an update on The Trouble With Demons
Happy Friday! Whew. Has it been a long week, or what?
For those of you who are in the Raleigh/Durham area (or will be in the area next Thursday, January 17), I'll be signing and reading and taking questions about Magic Lost, Trouble Found at the Barnes & Noble at The Streets at Southpoint in Durham beginning at 7:00 p.m. Joining me will be fantasy authors James Maxey (Bitterwood), Warren Rochelle (Harvest of Changlings and The Wild Boy), and Debra Killeen (An Unlikely Duke). If you can make it, I'd love to meet you, so please drop by and introduce yourself. It promises to be a fun evening. ; )
What I'm reading now:
The Bible (I'm up to the book of Acts)
Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch (I am in love with this man's dialogue and characterization)
The Down Home Zombie Blues by my author mentor/mom Linnea Sinclair
I'm expecting the final galleys on Armed & Magical next week, so I'll have to stop writing and take care of those. It's the final hunt for typos; it'd be nice if I could catch them all this time. ; )
Things are going much better on The Trouble With Demons. I'm finally getting under my characters' skins and into their heads (not that I wasn't there before, but now I'm really digging in). Which essentially means that my writing engines have finally warmed up and I'm up to speed. It took me three months and 17 chapters to get there, but hey, at least it happened. I am one more grateful girl.
And as a result of what I've written over the past few days, I have a music suggestion for writing romantic scenes -- The Symphony Sessions by David Foster. It's an oldie, but a goodie -- wildly, scrumptuously romantic. All but two of the tracks are perfect for writing those kissy/huggy/steamy scenes. I just finished writing one with Raine and Mychael. (And don't worry, Raine and Tam have already had one.) And I still have a couple more to write. One of my goals is to up the "steam factor" in each book. I didn't think you all would mind. ; )
And stop back by tomorrow for the Saturday Fun Pic -- I want to show you all something I've just gotten that I'm really proud of.
And on Monday, I'll talk about how I come up with names for my characters.

Well of course we wouldn't mind if you upped the steam factor!! :) I absolutely, positively CANNOT wait to see what else you have in store for us with the Raine/Mychael/Tam love triangle! And I agree, TGIF. It has been a very long week for me too.
I can tell you one thing -- the relationships get more tangled with each book. ; )
Oohhh. Steamier, yes please. :D
I'll have to look up that music you recommended. Even though I can't write to it, it's still good for serenading the muse.
yay for steamy! It seems like it's always one thing or another that just has to come up and interupt them. Raine needs to kill that little responsible voice in the back of her head. you mentioned a goblin named talon, and so i think we might have a fan alternative for the great Tam. so i say go ahead Raine. XD
.........don't tell my mother I said that.......
(Raises hands defensively) Okay, okay, more steamy. You asked for it, you got it. ; )
And Diana, I won't tell your mom (though she'd probably vote for steamy, too). ; )
